What are the main features of the Husqvarna LC247iX cordless mower?

The 36V battery takes 130 minutes to charge and will then mow for 20 minutes on a single charge. It has a safety plug and six cutting heights ranging from 20-75mm and comes with a large, fabric 55L collection bag. A full indicator would be useful. The battery and charger both need to be purchased separately adding considerably to the £499 RRP of the mower.

What is the Husqvarna LC247iX cordless mower like to use?

This mower comes ready to use from the dealer, so there's no grappling with assembly. The handle can be adjusted to suit different heights and the batteries go in and out easily. There's a display indicator unit on the handle so the battery power level is clearly visible when mowing and warning lights flash on if there are any problems. The height of cut can be adjusted quickly by lifting the large central handle and it cuts well, but does feel heavy. It has a battery-saving Eco mode and connectivity with the Husqvarna Connect app, which displays maintenance and service needs as well as runtime and charging status. This mower has a good simple design and features and feels substantial and robust.

Is the Husqvarna LC247iX cordless mower easy to store?

The handle folds flat so the mower can easily be stored horizontally in a small space. It does have a carry handle but it's heavy for most users to lift on their own.

Is the Husqvarna LC247iX cordless mower good value for money?

The cost of the battery and charger added to the mower pushes this into our premium price category, but given its many features and a one-year warranty, or two when registered, we think it's good value for money. Plus, the batteries and charger are compatible with all Husqvarna battery products, potentially saving you money in the future if you buy more tools.

Who is the Husqvarna LC247iX cordless mower most useful for?

This is a great mower for medium to large gardens with plenty of features to make mowing easy. However, it's heavy so not ideal for gardens with slopes or gardeners with limited mobility or strength.
